Description: “The Last Boy Scout,” released in 1991, is an action-packed film filled with suspense and drama. The story begins during a televised football game when L.A. Stallions player Billy Cole receives a mysterious call from a man named Milo, urging him to win the game. Fueled by PCP, Cole goes on a shooting spree on the field, killing three opponents before taking his own life.
Meanwhile, Joe Hallenbeck, a former Secret Service agent turned private investigator, discovers his wife’s affair with his best friend and business partner, Mike Matthews. After confronting Mike, Joe accepts a well-paid job to protect a stripper named Cory. However, Mike is later killed in a car bomb explosion outside Joe’s home.
While on duty, Joe is approached by Cory’s boyfriend, Jimmy Dix, a disgraced former quarterback banned from the league due to gambling and alleged drug abuse. After a heated argument, Jimmy takes Cory from the stage during her performance. Joe is ambushed by hitmen outside, but Jimmy and Cory manage to escape. Tragically, Cory is later shot and killed by the hitmen after a confrontation. Jimmy is also attacked but is saved by Joe, and together, they eliminate the hitmen.
Their actions draw the attention of detectives Bessalo and McCaskey, who question Joe’s involvement. At Cory’s house, Jimmy and Joe uncover a recorded conversation between Senator Calvin Baynard, who is investigating sports gambling, and Stallions owner Sheldon Marcone, hinting at a deeper conspiracy.”
